CITIZEN: 19 Ottawa intersections that need safety upgrades

At 19 Ottawa intersections where signals are warranted but not installed, there were 102 crashes over three years… There isn’t enough money in the budget to install traffic lights or roundabouts at all the intersections that currently meet the statistical thresholds for traffic controls. Councillors have heard a traffic signal can cost up to $2 million and a roundabout can be as much as $3 million, depending on the technical and property requirements.
